Charlton, that terribly poisonous
disease which is so fatal to stock, af>
ter having caused the death of many
head and inflicted severe loss upon
many of the people Of this parish who
were ill.ableito bear it has about run Its
course with the stock but what is
more terrible it has broken out among
the people in the Colony with fatal
effect. On Monday night Mr.. g. M.
McCaiium had the misfortune TO lose
a son; on Tuesday morning he came
TO town to get medical aid for his
family, of whom his wife and TWO
daughters We're down with it. AT the
time he was suffering from an attack
of the terrible disease. He reported
that DR.. #. Y. Cosper and wife and
a Mr.. Ambletou aud several negroes
also had it. Mr.. Ambleton, we learn,
has since died, 1t is thought that the
disease is communicated by inocula-
tion from mosquitoes and gnats which
had bitten diseased stock. We think,
however, that the disease has been
contracted in most instances by people
while skinning stock which have died
from an attack of Charlton.
